Help with Windows media player

Post by Lord_Kouga » Sat Mar 27, 2004 12:17 pm

lol im such a newb....i have downloaded lots of amv's but all the ones that are suppose to play in windows media player have no video....it acts like they are just songs or something. I have audio but no video feed what so ever, the screen just has the usually cool graphics when your playing a song. Thanks for any help.

Can somebody make a sticky about what to do if your videos won't play in [insert media player here]? Because it seems we get this kind of question a lot, and the solution is often as simple as getting the DivX codec or ffdshow.
